Just wondering, did you up the contrast in photoshop for this?
I like the the lack of center of interest, and the shear number of birds makes for an intersting picture.

Thanks for your comment, Dylan. The birds tend to circle up around midday, so capturing the colours is quite tough. I therefore decided to convert to B&W and push up the threshold using PSP9.

Terrific John, minimalist in colour and subject matter yet full of life ad movement. The birds make a random pattern in the frame which could hardly be better if you had cut and pasted them all yourself! Makes a great abstract and also a graphic study of the storks in flight.

I'm glad you responded on one of my other photos, because after that I went to your portfolio. Quite the collection!
I'll have to experiment with the whole drops thing. I also liked the pencil shavings.
I'll try out your suggestion on posting times as well.
Thanks.

What a nice Silhouettes and Abstracts shot..
Really strange one, and did the best by removing the blue color of the sky..
Well done, nice job...

This is surprisingly effective after seeing the thumbnail. What makes it work is the clearly defined shapes of the individual birds. Good idea, the b/w conversion.
Best regards,

John, This is an excellent capture. I am a bird lover and my favorite bird is called the magnificent frigrate that comes to Florida from the Dry Torgugas. This reminds me of the day I saw flocks of them soaring high but they were too far away to capture. This is wonderful. Interesting about as well. Thanks for your comment on my "lagoon" photo. Marilyn
